I review, mostly, old records and write about rock and roll, because it is dead and new music sounds mainly like old music, only worse.

Renascent

Without explaining myself, and for reasons I myself cannot even comprehend, I am going to begin this whole experience of writing about music again. It has been quite some time and I’m not sure how I’ll do it, I just know I want to.

I don’t think I’ll do any of that second-rate historical style, which is how I began this blog. And I can’t imagine I will use the same tone about things I don’t particularly care for.

Two thanksgivings ago me and a friend got drunk and fought about music. We almost came to blows over whether or not “Losing My Religion” sucked or not. I thought it did, he thought I was being an ass; and he was right.

I have for too long believed that if something was popular or well-regarded that meant I could hate it and say the most vile things about it and the people who created it; and perhaps even more insanely, I thought somehow that made me a more interesting person.
